WE would like to express our disappointment and disgust at the councillors who voted for the approval for the planning permission of the biomass incinerator on the docks.

Barry has a proud history as being one of the busiest docks in the country if not the world when coal was king - but it has not been in use as a dock for many, many years.

Not a crane or any coal handling equipment has been left as a nod to the past.

Most towns (even small ones) have a museum. Not Barry.

So what do we get in an area undergoing expensive 'regeneration'? A polluting, ugly incinerator.

I believe most of the councillors who voted for this monstrosity do not live in Barry, so it's not their problems.

Thanks a lot - shame on you.
